GRH 605 Another Year, How Swiftly Come

(1)
Time now has passed; hail the New Year!
Saints at God’s throne are gathered here,
Worshiping him with thanks we sing
Praises ascend to Christ our King.

(2)
Father we thank Thee for past care,
Blessing and guiding thro’ the year.
Take now this year, show us Thy way,
Keep us from straying, Lord, we pray.

(3)
Father, protect us from all wrong.
Thee would we serve helping the throng.
Grant us the wisdom and the pow’r,
Thy will to do each passing hour.

(4)
Dear Lord, increase our faith each day
To higher planes lift us we pray.
We place our work within Thy hand
O, give us peace! Revive again.
